Lost

Well, I thought I'd better update the blog. Basically my shots are done, I'm just tidying up what's missing from some, like grass etc. But truthfully, Im at a loss as to whether the film will be done because I have only a handful of usuable shots from the group and have no idea what to expect before final film review thursday. Utimatley, I get the blame on assessment day despite the stupid amount of work I've done to get this far.
Basically, Im also at a loss as to what to do now. Ideally, I would have liked the shots a week or 2 ago to start adding backgrounds, animating clouds/compositing all then edit and add the music track. Then I allowed to get the shots as late as yesterday, giving me 1-2 days to then composite/assemble bgs and edit. But since that didn't happen. Im left to render my shots out, not knowing exactly what to do with them. I can't tell a story with them alone, and even though I insisted on knowing beforehand of what realistically can and can't be achieved by the date so I had time to readjust, create extra drawings for stills if needed etc. I now have no time to do that, and really don't know what to ssay or hand in on thursday. I dont even think the half a day Im going to have tomorrow with the shots from the others will be enough time to do anything with them plus my own rendering/editing.

So that's it. I have outside work due today which I'm behind on, and despite the idea of extention, I have work coming up for the next 4 days after thursday so I dont know what to do. I kind of wish I had planned for a smaller film and gone solo or had jumped onboard and gone with someone else's idea and would have saved time, sleep and stress, plus all the sacrifies I took this year. Ultimatley, I dedicated this film to my pop, and I'm embarrassed it won't be what I initially intended it to be. maybe I'll just sling a trailer together, and complete the film in my own time. Anyways, gotta go.
